A Meagher County BONANZA.

The new gold find ut the head Of
Sheep creek promises to turn out to be
the finest gold mine on earth, the far
famed Treadwell mine Of Douglas
Island not excepted. This new find
consists of three blanket leads, lying
perfectly fiat. and separated by only q
foot or 90 Of limestone, the pay ore
varying In thickness from three to ten
feet. This rock worked In an arastra
pays from eight to thirty dollars, is
free from base metals and works easy.
But the chief beauty Of the mine is Its
wonderful extent. 1t is now known to
underlay region of not less than five
thousand acres and In all probability
extends much further. It's distance
from the surface thus far 10 from eight
to thirty.five feet. As 1t is followed
under the mountain, Of course, IL will
become deeper, but as the ore may al
be run out on level 1t will be easily
worked. We made mention OF thii
find last fall, at which time there wal
quite stampede to the camp, but Il
has been resting quietly since thai
date awaiting the completion Of an
arastra 10 test ils value. This has
been erected by J. T. Weatherwax,
Thomas King and 7. Z. Collins, Of
Fort Benton. These gentlemen own
Q tract Of country three claims wide,
eighteen hundred feet by fifteen hun.
dred. The lead on this ground starts
at the surface and at the rear end Of
their claims is only thirty-fve feet
deep. The arastra 10 located only q
quarter OF q mile away down . noun
tain 90 steep that the ore has to be
taken down on drags. There 10 an
abundance Of water near at hand 10
turn machinery and there 10 no ques-
tion but what the district win soon be-
come the greatest gold mining field In
America. .-Husbandman.

voting at the election In Knox county,
involving the location of the county
seat, has been referred to this Office.
You raise the question - to whether
these Indians have the right to vote,
and upon that question you ask the
views Of this department, expressing
the hope that II 1t be held that they
are not clothed with the right to vote,
prompt and necessary steps be taken
to prevent the Indians, non-citizens,
from voting, etc. In reply have to
say that Paragraph 4, Article 8, Of the
treaty between the United States and
different tribes Of Sioux Indians, con-
cluded April 20, 1885, provides for the
issuing Of patents to individual In
dians, and concludes a. follows: "And
any Indian or Indians receiving
patent for land under the foregoing
provisions shall thereby, and from
thenceforth, become and lie o citizen
Of the United States, and Be entitled
to all the privileges and iniInunities Of
such citizens, and shall 1T the same
time retain oil his rights 10 benefits
accruing to Indians under this treaty"
The lands have been allotted TO the
Santee Indians, and patents having
issued therefor. they are therefore citi.
zens Of the United States, and are
"entitled to all the privileges and i'm
munities Of such citizens" 10 which
any citizen of the United States 10 en-
titled. In view Of the fact that such
of the Santee Indians % have received
patents for their lands are citizens. Of
the United States, with the right to
exercise the privilege of voting within
its borders, and also that the Santse
Indians have filled the Other require
ments Of the state statute BY having
long been residents Of the state, it is
my opinion that the said Indians have
the right to vote In said state on any
and all questions upon which any
other citizen Of the United States. or
any other elector Of that state has Q
right to vote. This question, how.
ever, is one which can be determined
only by the proper court.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking Off Of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as well as relieving the burden OF
home manufactures. Especially Is
this the case with Green's August
Flower and Boschee's German Syrup,
as the reduction of thirty-six cents per
dozen, has been added 70 increase The
size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving one-ffth
more medicine In the 75 cent size. The
August Flower for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles,
have perhaps, the largest sale Of any
medicines In the world. The advn'
tage of increased size Of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sich
and afflicted, in every town and vi
lags In civilized countries. Sampl.
bottles for l0cents remain the same size

Greene is known TO many residents of
the Yellowstone valley, and lived In
this territory for several years. leaving
about four months ago, under rather
peculiar circumstances. He ran .
hotel At Billings; served a term as
joint councilman for Yellowstone and
Dawson counties; represented Wood
Bros. commission house; at the time
he departed was under indictment by
the tgrand jury; bilked unnumbered
people and bade no one good bye at
Billings, not even his bondsmen.
The story Of his hnd reads like Q
dime novel and is probably as worthy
of credit. Here is the account. "Three
years ago while prospecting in Mexico
Mr.. Greene discovered an old Spsnih
mine which had been worked several
hundred feet and tn en- deserted. The
vein of the silver was 90 rich that he
decided to make stand, and he, with
two companions have been working
their mine ever since. Most all Of
their work 20 far has been confined to
constructing store houses. timbering
the tunnel, and comparatively little ore
has been taken out, but they expect
to commence shipping ore this winter
and feel satisfied that they have q
good thing. The mine 10 located 900
miles northeast from chihuahua,
near the Arizona line. and is over 200
miles from the nearest railroad sta
tion. 1t is called the Yankee Doo-
dle.n The ore 10 remarkably rich.
and contains enough lead to pay the
expenses of mining, and small per-
centage Of gold. Mr.. Greene expects
to continue the working of the mine"
It may be that the Greene here
mentioned il another party, If 90 the
record given above does not apply.

A Missing Package.

A Salt Lake City special Of August
18th to the Butte Miner says: A dar-
Ing express robbery has occurred on
the Oregon Short Line, the full par
ticulars Of which are not obtainable
owing to the secrecy in which the
matter has been enshrouded by the
officials Of the expresrconpany. From
what can be learned 1t appears that
during the latter part Of last week .
banking house in Omaha shipped one
thousand ten dollar bills to Clark Il
Lanbie, bankers at Butte. The bank
al the same time notified the Butte
bank by telegraph that the package
had been shipped by express. The
money not arriving at the anticipated
time. the Butte bankers began to make
inquiries, and several days ago the
fact was developed that the money
was missing. The express officials at
once went TO Pocstello to make all
possible inquiry, and II was there
learned that Express Messenger Ben.
nett, whose run is from Granger to
Pocatello, had destroyed the waybill.
Bennett gave o. explanation OF his
conduct that after he had discovered
that he did not have the ten thousand
dollar package that the waybili called
for, appreciating what the loss Of that
amount meant, he claims he was
driven almost wild with fright and in
his distraction tore u2 the waybill
aud made no report Of the fact on
reaching Pocatello. Suspicion OF
course rests on Bennett. but the last
heard from ..Pocatello be had not been
arrested. These facts have been as-
certained with much difficulty, the
express officials have maintained q
most painful silence In relation to the
matter. F. G. Gentsch, superinten.
dent of the Pacific Express company
In this city is now In pocatello trying
to find out the facts relative TO the
missing package.

Our New Driving Park.

The Grand Stand is now finished
and the stables and fences white
washed, which gives the park clean,
fresh appearance. The grounds have
been cleaned up, and everything is in
readiness for the holding of the first
meeting.
The track 10 one of the finest to be
seen anywhere, being so feet wide, and
visible the entire round from thegrand
stand. A grand stand to race track
is something new in this part OF the
state, andthose who have never witness
sed races from one, can not appreciate
the excitement and interest which in
creases as your eye follows the flyers
around the track. There is quite a
difference between regular race
course and races given heretofore by
the old fair company. The former
gives you view of the entire track,
while the latter company gave only a
partial and unsatisfactory view.
We want to see the grand stand
filled the first day and every day
thereafter, because we believe the
races to be given will in every way
Justify your attendance. The ad-
joining counties should be largely
represented.
The managers are doing all in their
power to make it a success and should
receive the hearty cooperation of the
people of both city and county.

Accidentally Shot.

Lieut.. Cyrus S. Radford, of the u.
S. Navy, who is at home on 80
days furlough, was accidentally shot
and painfully wounded last Saturday
night. He was in the act of going to
bed at the recently purchased house
of his father, Mr.. w. 4. Radford, on
Main street, when in removing pis-
tol that was lying on the bed, the
weapon was discharged, the ball en-
tering the calf of his leg. 1t ranged
downward and came out on the out
side several inches below where II
entered on the inside of the leg. The
wound was probed by DR.. Yates and
the ball found to have passed be-
tween the bones of the leg, making
only flesh wound. The wound was
dressed and the young man is now
doing as well as could be expected
and will probably be able TO leave for
Annapolis IN weeks time.

living in Gainesville, a suburb of this
city, Hannah Scott by name, who
claims to have been 10years old when
Gen. Washington's Army marched"

tionary war closed in 1888, this calcu-
lation would make her at least ia
years old. She was formerly SER
want of the Leavell family and was
brought from Charlottesville Virgin
ia TO this county with that family.
At present she lives with her daught-
err, Eliza Stegar. She raised fifteen
children, only four of whom survive

great-grand- children foot up the to-
tai of 126. She is now very feeble

her age. She has been married three
times and has outlived all of her hus-
b ands and most of her children.
